    Big Grey exceeded our expectations. It was conveniently located to OSU, German Village and a great grocery store. The fenced in back yard worked so well for our pets. The fire pit was a boon as well as the enclosed front porch. I am planning a return trip in Fall with a friend and hope we can work with Rowe House Rentaks again.

    This is a great house! It is a large old house in a section of the city with similar homes. When say old, I don't mean rundown. It was recently updated and is beautiful and very functional. It looks great and has every amenity you can ask for in a rental. We could not have asked for a better house. The 3 bedrooms that each have their own bathrooms was great for our extended family. The one on the top floor is great if you have a lot of kids that want to share a room as it has multiple beds. The fourth bedroom was a bonus. The kitchen and family areas are huge and have tons of seating for everyone. We will definitely stay there again if we are back in town.

    The property is an excellent location if you want easy access to High Street and walking distance to campus! The added convenience of a local tavern and coffee shop just 1-2 blocks away was awesome! The property was a perfect location and had enough rooms and restrooms to give everyone the space they needed. Our family (20 - 60 yrs old) all enjoyed the home, location, and functionality. We will stay again!!

    I surprised my best friend for her 40th by coming down and renting Big Grey, a group of us went to dinner and then came back and stayed the night. We enjoyed a bonfire in the fire pit, and coffee on the front sunroom in the morning. The house is gorgeously redone, and HUGE. There would be plenty of room - and bathrooms - for a group much larger than ours. (we only had three overnight) Would definitely rent again if I ever need a place in Columbus.
